What fragrance has expensive smelling?

post #1 of 48
Thread Starter 
Hi guys,

I am looking for a expensive-smelling fragrance.

Any recommendation?

Very subjective but Invasion Barbare to me seems to fit the label.

a lot of stuff smells expensive, especially from the niche realm.
Prada Amber Pour Homme is a designer frag that smells like hotel soap, kinda classy in a way, that smells expensive

I 2nd Tuscan Leather, although I think Clive Christian C for men is slightly superior (they both smell virtually identical except C for men has the slight raspberry note which is godly).

New York (Parfums de Nicolaï) used to smell expensive, but - tee-hee - not anymore (after the latest reformulation).

What do you need to smell expensive for? Is it a cheap way to have people think you're wealthy?
Plus, what does expensive smell like? Does it smell like a high end department store? Does it smell like a pallet of dollars?
Or does it smell like what rich people in your life perfume themselves with? Or does a fragrance start smelling expensive after it breaks a certain price point?
I am pretty sure that if you walk out of a Rolls, almost anything you perfume yourself with will smell expensive.

From what I have, Egoiste smells really good, like I expect those hyped up niche fragrances to smell.
From what I've tested, Jaipur Homme by Boucheron (EDT) seems to be the best quality designer perfume.
Also.. Black Suede Touch (Avon) smells much more expensive then its price. It's a vanilla smell with woody drydown.

Encore Noire by Lalique - One is initially treated to a drenched, citrusy greenness, afforded by the haitian vetiver, which progresses to an earthiness somewhat akin to the saturated soil of a marsh littered with struggling greens. A warming greenness ensues, brought about by the bourbon vetiver. A duet of vetivers is consummated. From this green, damp and dirty duet, the bourbon vetiver overtakes with a burning, ember-like texture. In the distance, the cool crispness of cypress wood tantalizes, and the tempering heart beckons. Here, the spicy cypress wood stews lusciously with the wrestling vetivers, imparting a dry smokiness to the brew. Transitioning to the soothing base, a sweetness from the cashmere wood taints the subdued vetivers, and combines with a sensual musk to impart a wonderful, dry and animalic woodiness. This exquisite fragrance has a refined and complex uniqueness. A true gem, this high quality scent has good projection and very good longevity, and warrants your indulgence.
